Received an email from Apple with a receipt for something I didn't buy

I didn’t bought this. Is this a fishing attack or something?

It's a really bad idea to post your email address/ID in a public forum, even in an image - it's an invitation to spam and a security risk - and I've asked the Hosts to remove it. As people have already seen the image and replied there's no need to keep it up. If you ever have to post something like this again, you should blank out your address.


Big clue that it's spam - mis-spellings ('cancle') and poor grammar in the section at the bottom. Apple has faults but they do know how to spell.

It is a phishing attempt. Do not respond. Do not divulge any personal or financial information. You can use the address below to forward the suspect email message, as an attachment to Apple.

If you provided your Apple ID and password at the bogus site, change your password immediately.
